Task force launched to review Stand Your Ground law after Trayvon Martin shooting

[-..__...]

49. Does a Democratic person who introduces SYG legislation satisfy your requirement...

even though it has yet to be passed?

Is it your opinion that any SYG legislation is automatically going to result in "letting many cases of cold-blooded, savage murders of innocent people go unpunished"?

‘Stand your ground’ coming to Bay State?
Senator aims for Mass. version of controversial law cited in Florida slaying

State Sen. Stephen Brewer has the gun-control lobby fuming over his proposal for a “stand your ground” self-defense law — a bill that would bring to Massachusetts the same legal protection that has activists nationwide screaming for the arrest of a Florida man who gunned down an unarmed teen last month.

“It’s an excuse to kill without accountability. We don’t need it in Massachusetts, and shame on Steve Brewer for proposing it,” said John Rosenthal, the head of Stop Handgun Violence. “Look no farther than Trayvon Martin.”

Martin, 17, was shot to death last month while walking through a neighborhood in Sanford, Fla., north of Orlando. Police have not charged the gunman, George Zimmerman, because they say it appears he acted in self-defense.

Florida in 2005 passed a “stand your ground” law, allowing people to use deadly force against attackers in public. It is one of 21 states that have such a law.

FYI... Senator Brewer has been sponsoring this legislation for 5 years now.

He's been a long time supporter of our 2nd amendment rights, and is rated A+ by the Gun Owners Action League...
